Social Media: The new propaganda war tool – BBC News

The Arab Spring woke the world up to the power of social media like Twitter and Facebook to effect huge political change. But now in the latest conflicts throughout the Middle East, the internet has become an instrument of terror as well. ISIS has released horrific footage of atrocities it’s committed, to frighten and demoralise its enemies – so that they flee before a bullet has been even fired. Lyse Doucet reports on the new propaganda war. And a warning, her film contains disturbing images.

The Arab Spring was a change in window dressing only. No meaningful change
was brought about. Figureheads were replaced while the machinery of the
transnational corporate agenda continued without disruption.
Social media was manipulated to create the perception that the voice of the
People was finally being heard.﻿

Social medias are more and more tailored to match what *you* find important
as news rather than what the world is thinking in general. This can easly
lead up to channeling violent hate groups.
One person that agrees with the other on a discussion can add nothing more
than extrapolation over already known points of view. Sum that up over a
chunk load of haters and you get yourself a war.

Take a look at Youtube comments now. Now each one sees different top
comments based on their personalities and preferences. This means that more
and more you will see less people disagreeing with you, thus keeping
discussions closed minded and back to the dark ages.﻿

The teroriste stat of Israel bomb civilians and destroy them by tens,
hundreds, thousands. Since 50 years ago. Even if before Hamas exist

And the international community has “obviously” understood it is the right
of Israel to defend themselves against

The ethics of the State of Israel, from all political parties, is imposed
on the world and Arab governments, as Asian and Western fold
hypocritically. And because this hypocrisy is shared, and international,
human beings and citizens around the world should make it an international
cause of defending the dignity of our humanity.
You can share your hypocrisy. But the history will keep the truth : the
news nazis it’s Israel. Colonize Palestine and killing children’s and
women’s it’s genocide. That’s it.﻿

the real reason why muslims are mad at BBC,CNN, FRANCE 24, etc is because
the modern world is starting to figure out how these 7th century apes are
using the media for their propaganda BS islamic news jihad which is lie as
much as we can to gain sympathy. i truly dont feel sorry for no muslim
after seeing how these apes treat non muslims its disgusting. ﻿

Israel did not deform truth, it inverts it; an ‘Alice in Wonderland’
narratives of Israeli actions that American and British media like the BBC
dutifully insert into their stories – required under Jew-controlled media
and journalistic rules, although they know its untrue.
The intentional killings of children in Israeli lexicon become “children
caught in the crossfire”; when their F16 dropped 1,000 pounds fragmentation
or sometime phosphorous bombs on Gaza it become “surgical strike on a
bomb-making factory”. The destructions of civilians shelters for the
destitute and homeless become “the demolition of the homes of terrorists”.
The striking on UN schools, as well as medical clinics and mosques, become
“arms depots or launching sites.”
Israeli’s BIG LIE feeds two reactions it seek to elicit – racism among its
supporters, and terror among its victims.﻿
